Spring conditions reveal sand, gravel, and dust accumulated over winter.

Street sweeping begins only when:

  1. No further snowfall is expected
  2. Temperatures remain consistently above 0°C

Operations typically begin no earlier than April 15.

Street Sweeping Operations

  • The City operates three street sweepers
  • Initial work removes heavy gravel using loaders and trucks
  • Sweepers then remove finer debris

This process takes approximately 2–3 weeks to complete across the city’s road network.

Prioritization

Higher priority is given to:

  • High-traffic areas
  • School zones
  • Narrow streets
  • Transit and trucked service routes

Reminder: Use caution around street sweepers. They are slow-moving and may generate dust during operation.
